I wanted to completely reformat my phone as my phone was buggy with Cyanogen Mod 12, so I formated everything.
The problem is that my PC was not detecting the drivers when in recovery mode, so I couldn't side-load with ADB, and I have no way of getting a .zip on to it.
I tried re-installing the clockwork mod using ODIN but it would just crash the application. I then tried heimdall and that said it installed it (I was hoping that it would fix adb)
Now I can't boot in to the clockwork mode recovery as it just instantly turns the phone off, however I can just boot normally in to the Galaxy S4 logo screen.
When I'm in the logo screen I do have access to ADB, however my phone is unathorised and I have no way to authorise it.
How can I A) fix clockwork recovery so it works again and B) put a zip on the phone or fix ADB detecting my device in recovery?
If you can get into download mode, flash a full stock ROM via Odin and start again

update your bootloader and load your recovery via ODIN like you said, this should work

It should, otherwise this method works great if you don't mind using the command line: hxxps://docs.google.com/document/d/1luCfYEjOIH9K4WR8KsCMMFjZ9pXnes7Az41qMgOkrv0/edit
hi guys,
i flashed recovery using the manual method from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468858.
I wasn't able to use the last command
Code:
rm /sdcard/g2_security
I thought it didn't work , i also updated the my phone software.
When my phone restarted it went to cwm and now its stuck there.
Now when I try to boot I can either get in CWM or some Korean Recovery Menu with three option (i tried all nothing happend) or just stuck in boot loop!
I can't get in download mode by pressing vol up and plugging usb cable (tried all possible methods)
I will be glad if someone can help me out.
Thanks in advance
That's an unexpected situation to say the least.
So in short: installation of recovery worked, but you lost access to your ROM.
Correct?
Now, if you had a flashable ROM on your sd card you would be sorted, no?
I would say, get any compatible ROM, put them on a micro sd card and plug them into your phone. Flash through cwm...
Am I misunderstanding?
Otherwise there is always the fully back to stock option:

I was able to fix my phone using this thread. I was able to get in recovery but not in download mode. After executing these commands I flashed stock firmware through LG flashing tools.

The same exact thing happed to me. did u fix it, if yes can you please tell me how??
I have the same issue. Nothing mentioned in other threads is useful just because I CAN'T ENTER DOWNLOAD MODE. Totally stuck Help! Devs! Anyone!
Try installing some custom rom from recovery...after installing custom rom you can enter into download mode and do whatever u want...return to stock using kdz files or anything else..
So I am working on a SM-T230nu for a buddy, We were going top root it for him but after I installed twrp he took it home and i dont know what he did. I think he tried flashing twrp again, but it failed and he just rebooted.
point being that at this point it is a black screen, but when i plug it into the computer i get the "rocovery has encountered an issue , select recover in kies and try again" screen but it only flashes it for an instant every ten seconds. and the computer does not recognize it. when i go to odin it does not show any connected devices. i already tried every button combination and opened her up and pulled the battery ribbon, but it does the same thing as soon as i plug it back in. Has anyone seen this before? is there any way to get back to recovery mode?
Go to Download Modus.
Go into Odin and install a stock rom.
The Recovery should be overwritten with the standard one.
Then it should work and you can install TWRP again.
That works for me when i had a bootloop.
infinite reboot
I have the same situation, but already I flashed the stock rom, and the problem continue, infinite reboot, I can't into recovery mode, only download mode.....any idea?
You can also install a recovery with odin. I would try first to do that and then install another rom. No error in odin installing stock rom?

Hi,
I was flashing twrp with flashify when I just rebooted in recovery and since that moment my phone is stuch on an infinite bootloop showing me the:
"Recovery booting (recovery is not seandroid enforcing...)"
I'm plugging off the battery for some hours, but when plugged in nothing changed.
My phone has the usb port broken, so I can use it only to charge the battery, but no pc will recognize it.
Since the fact that I can't access download mode, or recovery mode to restore a nandroid backup, It's insane to buy a usb port to change it on the phone and try to link to a pc?
I mean, is there a way to access download mode?
Does JIG usb work in this situation of hard brick?
Any advice?
Thanks for answering.

You need a working usb to flash a custom recovery or an offical fw. I thought flashify needs root access to work?. Or if you already have root, you could adb to flash twrp but it's too late now.
Try getting into download mode. When it asks to proceed or cancel, choose cancel. Some people are lucky that the phone boot into system again but they need to fix the broken recovery later.

After 2 months of battery out, finally I got download mode to work, and pressing cancel my phone started.
Thanks.
But now it seems that there is no custom recovery installed, so when i go in custom recovery, the loop starts again.
How may I install again a custom recovery, knowing that:
1) I can't connect to pc, cm 12.1 has a bug, no pc recognizes my phone;
2) rom manager doesn't install any custom recovery on my phone;
3) flashify made my phone in boot loop, and I can't understand what I was wrong 2 months ago.
Thank you, man.
See your other post man .
Flash the tar version of TWRP using Odin. If there is no tar version, you can use Cygwin to convert an img file to a tar file.

I think i need flashable zip? how do I create this?
Just hold Home+Vol down+Power until Your phone boots into Download mode.
What rom did You try to flash?(link) No matter what rom You flash, Download Mode won't ever disappear. I've broke my device with odin couple of times (literally flashed everything. Even broken kernels) and I always could go into Download Mode.
And You use adb sideload like this:
adb sideload your_rom.zip
And it should first push the rom to Your device and then flash it. But with stock recovery I think that You'll get signature error.
Edit: G925W8 is a S6 Edge. Not S7 Edge btw.

I tried holding them down so many times! won't let me and I am flashing the G935W8VLU2API1_G935W8OYA2API1_TLS.zip
I renamed it to update.zip too but it's not letting me the contents look like this
https://gyazo.com/881d51456f4cd03ecc6ad7b16611712a
It's G935W8 Sorry for the typo
Ahahahah :laugh: It's not a recovery flashable package lol. You can only flash those files with ODIN.
Try that:
Download this rom: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424964461
Flash it with sideload, hopefully It will work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/samsung-sm-g935f-sm-g935w8-rom-t3414612 - people here said that it's quite safe.
What recovery do You use btw?
